The Big Battle

What will it take for Congress to modernize U.S. immigration policy amid a complex and divided popular will?

Young activists, new voters, evangelical Christians change the face of the fight for comprehensive immigration reform in The Big Battle. The film is the capstone to Shari Robertson and Michael Camerini’s How Democracy Works Now, a 12-part documentary series inside the evolving fight over immigration reform legislation from 2001 to 2007. Now, in 2014, it’s a battle in the media, in communities, and in the back-rooms of Congress.
